It is that time of year again where our manufacturing headquarters will close for the Christmas holidays. This year has seen us undertake some exciting projects including one of our products heading for Mexico, upgrading with our brand new all-electric high power dual stack CNC tube bending machine and also installing 270 solar panels on […]

Here at Tubecraft all our bends are created at our main headquarters in Lymington, Hampshire.  Recently, we have undergone the installation of a 96kw solar power system that will allow us to generate enough solar for our high energy needs. The 96kw is delivered by 270 solar panels on the roof of our main manufacturing […]

Smooth Flow Path:  Mandrel bending minimizes deformation and wrinkles on the inner surface of the bend. This results in a smoother flow path for the conveyed material, reducing the risk of blockages and turbulence that could affect conveying efficiency. Consistent Diameter:  Since the mandrel provides internal support, the pipe retains a more consistent diameter throughout […]

Section Bending, also known as profile bending or section rolling, is a metal forming process used to bend or curve structural shapes and profiles into specific shapes or radii. Unlike section rolling, which primarily focuses on changing the cross-sectional shape of the material, section bending is all about altering the curvature of the material while maintaining its original […]

As an interesting exercise, and always wanting to keep up with the latest technology we thought we would put Ai ChatGPT to the test on how to solve mandrel tube bending issues. Here’s the response from Ai Chat GPT. To solve mandrel bending issues, you can take several steps to identify the problem and address […]

One of our latest productions is heading to Mexico! Here at Tubecraft, we have produced these coils with a 800mm PCD from Copper tube with a 63.5mm O/D x 3.25mm wall thickness that will be used to distil tequila for a distillery equipment manufacturer. Approached due to our highly bespoke service and capabilities we produce […]

Recently, Tubecraft were commissioned to produce a batch of cooling coils for a customer that supplies ejectors to the water and processing industry. We have many years of experience in coiling and working with many sectors including the brewing, chemical, scientific, and process engineering industries to name just a few. For this project the cooling […]

Here at Tubecraft we have expanded our bending capacity and in February we took delivery of a brand new all-electric high power dual stack CNC mandrel tube bending machine. The latest investment will increase our capabilities further, both in terms of capacity and the ability to tender for a greater range of projects. Our new […]
